We had used paper in the past, but taking the names andemail addresses from the paper is time consuming and sometimes very
Is it possible to read/write data to and from Access with Flash in a offline format? I need to create a stand alone system that users can log into and pull information from - but it will not be networked or have any sort of internet connection.
I am trying to create a 'Password' database with flash to push both to and from an external database, the only problem is that I do not want to have to run IIS or Apache or any other web server.

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.
I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:

I need to get a contact us form in a flash site to send an email to me when someone submits it. I bought a template ([URL}..and it has an area for contact us, but the form doesnt actually work. The template seemed easy enough to be able to get to that page, took some searching in there, so i just need to somehow add some action script that can send me the info.
ok so when i need to connect a swf to some sort of data source on the server be it XML, a .NET DLL, a CFC or what ever so that i can load data from a database or what ever, everyone is always saying that i shouldn't hard code the connection string into my actionscript as anyone can get it and do malicious things with it. So how should i load the connection string into flash. if i put them on the server in an XML file or somthing like that then i still need to put a connection string into the actionscript in order to load in my main connection strings into the actionscript.
Basically i need to know how to load an external string into a swf without anyone else being able to get hold of that string for them selves. i am developing an app for somone and i need it to connect to a database and i need it to be secure. i have everything sorted except making the connection string to the database unstealable.
I am trying to create a simple form using Actionscript 3 that will collect data from a form, then pass that data to an asp file. I have attached the following code to the submit button,but this is not working.I'm not sure if I have to add anything else and I don't understand why this is not working. I'm trying to load all the variable info into one variable called email form.
submit_btn.onRelease = function() { var emailform:text; emailform.email_txt = email_txt.text;[code]......
I am trying to send data filled out in a form in my flash movie to send mail using CFMAIL. In my form that is in Flash I have variables set. Then when the button is pressed loadVariables("sendMail.cfm", "POST");
I am in the process of creating a flash site for friend of mine. He wants to be able to have a guest list for his events in DC. I have created form boxes and have given them all "instance names". But I have absoultely NO clue how to have the text entered by people trying to get on the guest list sent to my server so we can all read it.
I have a book on Flash but it really doest explain how to do it at all. I'm guessing I need to do some actionscript?
My contact form works just fine, however, I currently have the target set to "_blank" which is not what I want. Rather than opening the .php file open in a new window, I just want to go to a new frame (labeled "success" or "error")within my flash file (which currently works fine)So, my question is how do I send the form information to my php file WITHOUT having to open a new window outside of my flash file since I'm sending the user to new frame instead.
FYI: I've already tried removing "_blank" but it still opens the php file in a new browser window.
My code below:
on (release){ var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); my_lv.fullName = fullName_txt.text;
I'm using a simple form to submit to a php mail functions.works fine, however when i publish for flash 8 the mail body shows all the inline style as plain text.[code]...

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.
this is my current cv, painstakenly written in flash: [URL] I was told that I can use an external data file and load this into a flash file with xml, i am trying to make an xml file that will do what you see here above. But i cannot get the information to load properly where each title is separate (bold) and the description underneath it (plain text). i cannot get my cv to show up in a linear format as it only shows the first entry and then stops.
I have an interactive Flash simulation that I have imported into SABA Publisher. I need for the Flash file to communicate with SABA, basically returning that the user has successfully completed the simulation. SABA is supposed to be able to receive data from Flash.
I have a website that is all flash. I have a main file that loads in the nav and then the nav loads in the designated .swf file for each section. So there are several sections(.swf's) with lots of text taken from a database and inserted into the swf file from an XML file. If I click in between sections, and go back to the original section of text the formatting is lost. This is only in Internet Explorer 7- this does not happen in Firefox or on the Mac.
I have a simple microsoft access database (table with a handful of fields).I want to make a flash form that operators can use on mac and pc to enter information into the database.I know little about databases and although I've worked as a designer with flash for years, i know little about the latest scripting too.
Does anyone know of any really easy and effective ways to move complex data types from PHP into FLASH and vice-versa? A while back I made an attempt to recreate PHP' serialize() function in actionscript but it was really difficult and performance was poor.
I'm able to do it fairly easily for one dimensional arrays indexed by numbers, but when I have to pass either an object (or several objects) or when i have to pass a nested array of arbitrary complexity (such as a data tree) then I get bogged down.
I have a little experience dealing with XML in flash (working with the tree component) but it seems like so much effort when i am dealing with a new data type.
Does anyone know of any pre-packaged components or code (in actionscript and complimentary part in php) that might be useful?
I'm new to the flash development community, has anyonemarried the flash environment with the real-time data world? Can Iuse the viewer to "walk" a bulding floor plan with real-time nserted into it?
